THE PARTY Houston magazine celebrated the release of its annual Nightlife Issue along with droves of dressed-to-impress partiers at Midtown’s newest see-and-be scene, Mr. Peeples. THE SCENE The 500-plus guests got a sneak peek of the restaurant/nightclub, as they flowed from the violet-washed lobby area—complete with a pool table, crystal-dripping chandeliers and mod red-velvet furniture—through the adjoining bar space and out onto the oversized patio. They bobbed their heads to DJ-spun tunes, and washed down bites like smoked salmon crostini, bacon-wrapped shrimp and skewered chicken with vino and specialty cocktails from Pura Vida tequila. (Nearly every gal had an icy skinny ’rita in hand!) THE HIGHLIGHTS Art by Houston’s Taft McWhorter was on display, as were fall fashions from Cakewalk Style Shop and the eye-catching new Infiniti Q50, courtesy of Southwest Infiniti.
